Cubs lefty Tom Gorzelanny another rotation consideration for Tigers

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that the Chicago Cubs are actively shopping left-handed starter Tom Gorzelanny, and a source with knowledge of the situation said the Tigers have contacted the Cubs in regard to obtaining him.

Though, the clubs' conversations appear to be in the early stages.

He was 14-10 with a 3.88 ERA in 2007, and would likely be an upgrade over current No. 5 Detroit starter Armando Galarraga (4-9, 4.49).

Adding a second southpaw to the rotation would be a plus, and he would not cost much. Gorzelanny made $800,000 last year and won’t be a free agent until 2014.
